National Museum of Yemen

The National Museum of Yemen in Sana'a occupies a former royal palace and gathers artefacts spanning the country's long history, from the ancient South Arabian kingdoms to the Islamic era. Its collections include alabaster funerary sculptures, inscriptions in the Old South Arabian script, bronze figures, and ethnographic material illustrating highland and coastal cultures. The building's decorated halls suit Yemen's distinctive heritage. Visitors can trace the civilizations that flourished along the incense routes across the region.
